...positions in his long career. Last week the postwar pattern of conservatism was all but broken. The Senate's 43 Republicans gathered beneath the ornate crystal chandeliers of the G.O.P. Conference Room to elect Dirksen's successor as minority leader. They chose Pennsylvania's Senator Hugh Scott, 68, a moderate liberal of the Eastern Establishment. Then, three hours later, the same band of G.O.P. Senators who accomplished that feat combined to give Scott's old job as assistant minority leader to Michigan's Robert Griffin, 45, a moderate only slightly to the right of Scott...
Double Bugaboo. Thus in one day the ideological furniture on the minority side was considerably rearranged. Both Scott and Griffin represent industrial states with large labor, urban, black and ethnic constituencies. Neither, of course, is anything like a social radical, and both have voted often enough for conservative causes. Scott and Griffin supported the President on the ABM. Last year Griffin led the Senate fight against Abe Fortas' appointment as Chief Justice. Both Senators have generally subscribed to the President's Viet Nam policies, although Scott has been anxious for accelerated troop withdrawals. Both Scott and Griffin...

Another element favoring Scott was the fact that his elevation would leave open the whip's post, which was coveted by several of his colleagues.

When police first recovered the body of 18-year-old Ella Jean Scott from a grave on a Chesterton, Ind. farm last February, their chief problem lay in deciding which of two conflicting stories to believe. According to slim, handsome Joel Saikin, 25, his father Samuel, 49, had murdered the go-go dancer in his Chicago warehouse and enlisted his son's help in disposing of her body. According to the elder Saikin, Joel was the girl's killer. Joel passed a lie-detector test, and the authorities put papa on trial for murder. But after hearing...
...Should Scott and Baker deadlock, some Senators favored compromising on Delaware's John Williams, a 22-year veteran of the Senate. But Williams, who plans to retire at the end of 1970, refused last week even to consider the idea...
